This is something you can eat between meals without ruining your appetite. 这个你可以在正餐之间吃而不影响你的胃口。
between 通常是用于两者的,这里的 between meals 应该是指每两顿饭之间。请老师多给出几例这样 between 后面接复数名词的例子(最好是完整的句子),但表示的意思是“每两个……之间”。谢谢!

曾老师:
同意黎老师的解答!借此机会,说一下between和among的基本用法。
1. between一般指两个人或物的“之间”,可接复数名词或代词,也可用between…and…连接两个单数名词或代词。如:
A fight broke out between the two boys. 这两个男孩打了起来。
A fight broke out between Tom and Jack. 汤姆和杰克打了起来。
2. between 也可以用于两者以上的“之间”。这时,明显存在着个与个之间的相互关系。如:
I eat nothing between meals. 我不吃零食。(即:每日三餐的间隔中不吃东西)
The teacher is sitting between Wang Hai, Li Dong and Liu Min. 老师坐在王海,李东和刘敏之间。
3. between可表示“合作、协同或一起”的意义。如:
Between us we killed the wolf. 我们一起打死了那只狼。
4. 在difference之后要用between。如:
Can you tell me the difference between the words injure, harm and wound? 你能告诉我injure, harm和wound这几个词的区别吗?
5. among 一般用于三者或三者以上的“在......中间”,后面接表示笼统数量或集合意义的名词或代词。例如:
There is a small hut among the trees. 在树林中有一个小茅草屋。
6. among还可以表示最高级的比较范围。例如:
Shanghai is among the biggest cities in the world. 上海是世界上最大的城市之一。(句中的among相当于one of)
7. 注意:如果谓语动词是divide, share表示分、分担之类的动词时,有两种情况。
① 并列的几个单数名词或代词要用between...and。如:
Share the sweets between you, Alice and Susan. 你、爱丽丝和苏珊把这些糖果分着吃吧。
② 如果后面接的是复数名词,那么既可以用between,也可以用among。如:
The expenses on advertising and sales promotion will be shared between / among our three departments. 广告和促销的费用将由我们三个部门均摊。
